ROUNDS 3-30 1 HDC around, marking first ST. After completing last round, lay bag flat on the table. Due to slant of STs when working in spiral crochet, you may not have ended precisely at a corner. HDC to the nearest corner. Do not cut yarn.

FLAP OF BAG:

Turn bag over and lay flat on the table. Across this back side, mark off 35 STs along the top edge, while at the same time ensuring these 35 STs are centered. Mark the first and last ST.

STRAP - CH 80. Attach big lobster clasps on both ends then attach to the sides of the bottle holder.

Measure the length and width of your device with tape measure. Write it down. These will be your references as you do your phone case. In this case I used my Samsung S7 Edge with measurements of 4" x 7".

With your threads and hook, Chain until it measures the bottom part (shortest length) of your mobile. Just make sure you end with an ODD number of chains.

Round 1:

3 SC in 2nd chain from hook. Mark your first SC with stitch marker since we will be working in rounds.

SC in each of the next CHs. 3SC in last CH, working around the tail to the other side. Coming over to the other side, SC in each of the chains.

Round 2-3:

SC in each ST around.

Round 4:

SC +DC in next ST, then skip next ST. Repeat until you reach the stitch marker.

Rounds 5 and up:

Repeat round 4 until your height is about 2-2.5inches shorter than the height of your mobile.

Next rounds:

SC in each ST around until your height is about half an inch shorter than the height of your device.

Button closure round:

Mark the centermost stitch of the last round and mark it with a needle or stitch marker. SC in each ST until you reach your marked stitch, SL ST to the marked ST. CH 20-25 (or however many you need to wrap it around the button you choose.) SL ST to the same ST to close the loop. SC in each remaining ST around.

Next round:

SC in each ST around (when you reach CH20 loop, just fold it down out of your way)

To finish:

SL ST into the first 3STS of the next round to even out the edge. Fasten off and weave in ends. Attach your button on the opposite side from the button loop.
